interesting CVS problem

Here's a scenario I ran into this weekend, wondering what the proper way to handle it would have been. (I know what I did was horrendous) 1. A user had checked in a bunch of images without -kb, and thus the images were corrupted when I tried to view them after checking them back out. 2. I told

Id like to add that if I remember correctly, it is possible to create RCS files that will not be usable in CVS. For one example, if you have revisions of the form 1.x.y.z then is it not the case that these will confuse CVS? Rex. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Larry Jones) on 04/16/2001 11:41:09 AM
